Southampton and District Support Group

The Southampton and District Support Group is a team of volunteers who offer people affected with osteoporosis the chance to meet other people in the area similarly affected, get information, support and ask questions about osteoporosis treatment and care.

Programme 2025

Can you help?

We are looking for more helpers to support the group with meetings, raise awareness in the local area and ensure the future of the group. This could be welcoming people to meetings, admin support or helping organise the meeting programme. To find out more and get involved, please get in touch.
